The white hull of After You sits impossibly still in a mirror of dark water, Alaskan peaks reflected in the glassy surface behind her, while in the distance a 53-metre support vessel moves through channels carved by glaciers and time. This pairing represents not merely efficiency in expedition cruising but an entirely reimagined approach to remote exploration, where the hybrid powered explorer and her dedicated support yacht, Emotional, dissolve the distance between ambition and comfort.
Delivered by Damen Yachting in 2025, After You stretches 60.1 metres with a design conceived for both range and minimal environmental footprint. The vessel carries the aesthetic restraint of Scandinavian shipbuilding, her white superstructure and teak accents catching light across the Alaskan waters in a way that feels effortless rather than ostentatious. Within, light spills through expansive windows into interiors designed around wellness, with a suite dedicated to restoration and a Jacuzzi positioned to frame the mountains as they rise beyond the glass.
Emotional, the support yacht, transforms logistics into luxury. Her 15-tonne crane launches tenders, Sea Doos and diving equipment with choreographed precision, while her hold carries everything required to move between remote coves, sheltered bays and fjords where brown bears fish the rivers and whales surface in quiet anchorages. A sleek 10-metre open tender completes the fleet, designed for intimate exploration when After You remains at anchor.
Twenty five crew members shape each day around your preferences, whether that means tracing intricate coastlines at dawn, positioning for wildlife encounters or returning to After You’s wellness facilities as the light softens across the mountains. The hybrid propulsion system permits extended range without the traditional carbon weight, allowing longer passages through waters where few vessels venture and fewer still maintain this standard of comfort.
After You is available for charter from €780,000 per week through TWW Yachts, with seasons aligned to Kodiak’s clearest, most dramatic months when the landscape and wildlife create conditions rarely glimpsed from land.
